“…All patients in the Dundee unit were dialysed three times each week for 6-8 h each dialysis, using negative pressure ultrafiltration in a closed system [7] and a dialysate sodium strength of 145 mmol/l (145 mEq/l) (8). Either Ultra-fio 100 coils (Travenol) or EX03 coils (Extracorporeal) were used.…”

Plasma retinol and retinol-binding protein (RBP) concentrations have been estimated in patients on maintenance haemodialysis over a 4-year period. For the first 2 years multivitamin supplements containing vitamin A were taken, and for the second 2 years no vitamin A supplements were given. Mean plasma retinol concentrations decreased significantly but only from 3.8 times normal to 3.1 times normal after vitamin A supplements stopped. There was no significant change in the high plasma RBP levels. Ultracentrifugation of plasma at a salt density of 1.21 showed that nearly all the retinol was associated with RBP in the high density protein fraction, as it is with normal subjects. Column chromatography confirmed that there was no increase in plasma retinyl esters in the renal failure patients, as is found in hypervitamincsis A due to drug overdosage. The high plasma retinol and RBP levels remained remarkably stable in individual patients throughout the 4-year study. The increase in plasma RBP was possibly related to residual urine output. The results are compatible with a feedback mechanism whereby the extent of the increase in plasma RBP as renal failure develops controls the consequent high plasma level of retinol.

“…The 16 patients studies (13 males and 3 females) were dialysed twice weekly for a total of 16-22 h using Travenol Ullra-flo 100 or Extracorporeal EX-03 coils, enclosed in a sealed container [10], enabling negative pressure ultrafiltration to be used. Since October 1971, the dialysate sodium concentration has been uniformly 145 mEq/l [11], Six of the patients had been on maintenance dialysis prior to May 1971 and five of these had received blood transfusions, ranging from 16 to 77 units of blood, prior to iron therapy.…”

Patients with chronic renal failure who were on maintenance haemodialysis, were given monthly 600 mg iron intravenously as iron-dextran complex to a body replacement total of 5–6 g iron. Those patients who had been on maintenance haemodialysis for a long period and had received numerous blood transfusions failed to show a rise in haemoglobin levels. Those patients who received iron from the commencement of maintenance dialysis, and who had not received blood transfusions, showed a significant increase in haemoglobin concentrations which has been maintained for more than 18 months after iron therapy ceased, despite a concurrent decrease in serum iron concentrations. Pre-treatment and post-treatment levels of serum iron are not of predictive value for the success of iron treatment, neither for the haemoglobin nor the serum iron response. A body replacement dose of iron given intravenously over a year benefits the majority of patients on maintenance haemodialysis and is recommended for the treatment of their anaemia.
